Transcription:
ARNOLD ARBORETUM, HARVARD UNIVERSITY. Jamaica Plain Mass,.............November,.......1901. My dear Muir: I was in
at Houghton Mifflin's the other day and they showed me the advance sheets of your new book and your dedication of it to me.
This took me completely by surprise and filled me with delight; in fact I do not know that anything which has happened to
me has given me so much real pleasure as this evidence of your good feeling. Alice arrived safely two or three days ago delighted
with her trip to the west and with your kindness to her and her excursion up Mt. Tamalpais. illegible San Francisco she and
her aunt visited the Yosemite where they staid several days and had a delightful time, then came home via Colorado. Altogether
she had a splendid time and the trip has done her a great deal of good. Thank you cordially for your kindness to her. I am
up to my eyes in work in these days. Faithfully yours, John Muir, Esq. Martinez, Cal. 02749
